Novikov Mayfair

It’s not that special… we went Novikov on Thursday at 8pm and the vibe was good. Our server was super friendly and the service was fast, as well as the starters and even main! We had the chicken tacos which I loved! The prawn money bags were 50/50, I just didn’t like the texture but the spice and flavour was perfect. We also got the California roll which was horrible…! He enjoyed his lamb chops, and I didn’t really enjoy the duck salad. The cocktail zombie was quite nice and strong. Overall the experience was nice, however I wouldn’t go back and I don’t think it’s worth it for me personally. It was also upsetting to see those live crabs in those small tanks outside.

Dined in the Asian side of the restaurant - The restaurant decor is nice and has an intimate feel to it. The presentation of food ingredients is also nice seeing all the colours of seafood and vegetables. The staff are helpful and always wizzing around. The food was nice and the portion sizes are very much decent👍🏼 although the egg fried rice was not nice tasting. I would be interested to try the Italian side of the restaurant to see the taste of the dishes there are like.

Dined in the Italian restaurant for a special birthday. Definitely not cheap and the tables were too close together but otherwise everything is perfect. Service was great, food delicious, portions generous. The candle in our desert and singing from the staff was a super nice touch too.
